UREDO Persoon 
UREDO CANTONENSIS sp. nov. 
Soris uredosporiferis hypophyllus, punctiformibus, mox nudis, 
brunneis, 0.25—0.33 mm diam.; uredosporis globosis vel subglo- 
bosis, echinulatis, brunneis, 22-26 x 16-20n, episporio ca. 1-2y 
crasso, poris germinationis 1-3; pedicellis hyalinis, 20-50, longis, 
5-6, latis. 
Kwangtung Province, Canton (Honam Island), Merrill 10386, November 
3, 1916, on leaves of Melothria indica. 
This species is one of the few belonging to this genus occuring upon the 
Cucurbitaceae. It appears to be very close to the uredo form of Uromyces 
Hellerianus Arth., described from material from Porto Rico on Cayaponia 
racemosa. No teleutospores have however been found in our material and 
so it must be described as a Uredo. 
Uromyces melothriae P. Henn:, which according to Sydow is merely a 
uredo form, differs from our species chiefly in its much larger spore 
measurements. It was originally described from Abyssinia on Melothria 
tomentosa.
